Using DCs to access forgotten memories/subconscious

**Flashdance** · 10-19-2009 01:33 AM

You know how psychiatrists can use hypnosis to regress the patient back to their childhood?

1. If you asked a DC about memories from your childhood that you have long forgotten, would the DC give you an accurate answer?

2. If you scanned a list of 10 names, but can't recall them when awake, if you asked a DC for the 10 names, would it give you an accurate answer?

3. Could you want a DC to give accurate information, but they don't?

I am very interested in using LD to recall childhood memories and access the vast power of the subconscious mind.

Thanks in advance for all replies.

That's a really interesting idea! Haven't a clue whether or not it would work, but by all means try it. I imagine there is some sort of link or similarity between hypnosis and lucid dreaming -since they both make use of the subconscious mind I guess.

I don't know, but now I wanna know! Great questions.

**gugvg** · 10-19-2009 02:43 AM

yeah really nice questions when i finally have a LD im gonna try it

Well I believe with practice one can access The Akashic Records through LDing, so perhaps you can recall former experiences by accessing the Records through a DC. For me, it always appeared as a very large book on a very large shelf though, because I've always associated books with knowledge, it might be different for everyone, who knows? None of my other friends are interested.

That's a really interesting question. I would guess that if those memories are in your subconscious somewhere, you could access them through a dream. I wonder how much your life experience and what you are expecting to hear/feel would color those memories, though. I think it's a great idea to try but I wouldn't count on the memories being accurate.

You can access past memories through meditation as well. But trying it in a lucid dream seems like a really interesting idea too.

For me the Akashic Records have been an enormous hall, dimly lit with golden light, high cathedral-like ceilings, with rows and rows of huge ornate books that tower to the ceiling. A few people were calmly flying around and looking through the books, as though they do this everyday. Everyone there had wings. I got the impression it was a place you could only visit if you have wings, but that you can sort of "pick them up at the door, and leave them on your way out" if that makes any sense. It was clear that everyone and anyone has the potential ability to visit this place and gain wisdom and knowledge, but they don't. Most are too blind to its existence. Also, there was some strange rule that I couldn't quite grasp. What you learn while you are there, looking through the records, you cannot bring back with you to 'this' plane of existence. "The books don't leave the library"...sort of deal. But what you learn there is never forgotten...and there is always a link connecting you in this world to it, if you know how to use that link...then you can access that information. Sadly I have yet to figure that out.

it may be a stupid question, but what are these Akashic Records?

**dark_grimmjow** · 10-23-2009 01:18 AM

I've thought about trying this before, with the application of seeing a relative i've only seen once in my life several years ago when i was little (i'm 20 now). I can't remember what their face looks like, but i know that it's in my subconscious somewhere, and if i see it, i know that i'll recognize it. The only problem is that i'm afraid to try because i might miss them, and there is no chance that i could have anymore contact with that person (they're not dead). What would some of you do in this situation?

Absolutely don't be afraid to try for fear of missing this person. As I've uncovered more and more memories from childhood, being a toddler, and even a baby...I've discovered that the gift of a memory is quite possibly the most amazing thing I've ever received. It's definitely worth it.

**Urban Ninja** · 10-23-2009 03:03 AM

Those are some good thoughts man... What if we could find out hidden desires, etc. through DC's? That would mean DC's are simply manifestations of the subconscious... which is trippy to think about. IF that is true... what does that say about settings in your dreams? Times of day... situations. Do these all say something about you and your current behavior or something? Haha idk I'm just rambling.

Thanks Aquanina. This isn't a topic that i can bring up around other people without creating an uneasy atmosphere. So the anonymity of a forum makes it easier for me to discuss this. Considering what you said, i only have one memory of this person and that was the one an only time i've seen them. It would be nice to see their face again, and maybe even re-live the moment in an ld. Although I'm still a little fearful, i might just give it a shot.

**falling2theSun** · 10-23-2009 08:17 AM

ive been trying to do this for awhile, but unfortuanetly as soon as i wanted to i havnt been able to have a lucid dream.
i posted something like this in beyond dreaming awhile back, i think it would be cool if in your dream, you walked into a room with a large amount of tvs or projectors, each with a different memory. i imagine the room would be endless, and hopefully organized in some manner haha.
either that, or asking a dc as you suggested.
hopefully ill get back into dreaming soon.

**slash112** · 10-23-2009 05:44 PM

DCs should be able to do this since usually they are part of your subconscious. So I don't see why your subconscious self wouldn't be able to access some of your subconscious information.

**ragincajun2288** · 10-27-2009 09:48 AM

I agree. Your DC's should at least be able to access your own subconscious, they are created from your own mind and subconscious after all, but perhaps this can only be done with a firm self belief that it's possible and a pursuance of such task to prove so.

**ArmoredSandwich** · 10-29-2009 07:19 PM

I wonder if anything that you remember really happens or is just made up.. like everything else :O

**yuriythebest** · 10-29-2009 08:58 PM

yup I have been thinking about this for a while now- I used to speak greek fluently now I have half-forgotten it. I am thinking by using LD's I can 're-activate' that knowledge

**beachgirl** · 10-29-2009 09:12 PM

if dc's are their own person, so to speak, then wouldn't they each see your past from their own unique subjective perspective?

something about akashic records implies objectivity to me, which would imply beyond character at all...

i would think AP would be better for that. going back in time and viewing the event.

however even then... how accurate is memory, ever? aren't there some who argue that memory is at best something cobbled together in present time, taking emotions and logic and current needs into account, a dynamic linear program, so to speak? even if it is viewing past events?

Who says an astral projection can't be a lucid dream? Or vice versa? I often start out in a lucid dream and through meditation can progress to higher astral planes. But it's still all a lucid dream to me. None of this stuff can be proven, so everyone's individual opinion and interpretation is really the only one that matters.

**Robot_Butler** · 10-30-2009 12:24 AM

I agree with Aquanina. It is all connected. Once you're lucid, it is easy to bounce around to other altered states.

**ragincajun2288** · 10-30-2009 12:27 AM

It's not the same planes but through lucidity and meditation I think it is easier to acess both.

**Robot_Butler** · 10-30-2009 12:47 AM

I've never bought into this whole "planes" nonsense. I think it is just a useful model for comprehending the experience. Don't let it begin to limit you. Only use the model so far as it is useful, then abandon it in favor of the real experience.

**Rosewhip137** · 10-30-2009 03:40 AM

Today I was shown a very, very old book. It was from deep in my childhood, probably around 5-8 years old. The book had been long since forgotten, and it almsot brought me t tears seeing it again, I am now ENTHRALLED by the idea of using DC's to access older memories, I think it would be an AMAZING experience!
